One in three fish caught never makes it to the plate

This is all really bad and we're not on a good path here as a species...

But one thing to remember is that nature works locally. I think there is a chance to protect the environment through isolated "islands" - with no human contact whatsoever - where flora and fauna have the chance to come back.

Interestingly, Chernobyl is quite a good example for that: https://nordic.businessinsider.com/wildlife-near-nuclear-rea...

But I'm not worried about nature at all, although the massacre disturb my sense of aesthetic and empathy.

It's sad we destroy it. I wish we would not.

But it will survive, thrive even.

The problem is that our current actions will kill us.

My idea is to preserve nature so it can safe us. If there are large areas where no human being has access to, nature will thrive and we can then use that area to take whatever we need, whatever has been extinct through us and grow it back. Think of it as a safe for your most valuable things, in this case, nature

Islands as Noe's ark. Why not.

It's a good complement to old seeds data banks like kokopelli's.

Exactly. It won't save many from dying, once some regions start collapsing, but it'll help us to survive as a species
